Homey Apartment Stay in Austin

We loved our stay in Austin. The apartment was clean, comfortable and in a great location. The free and secure parking was a great perk since we had a rental car. We didn't get to use some of the amenities like pool or BBQ's because the weather wasn't great but we will definitely look up this place for our next stay in Austin.

Staycation for Gala Event

Sonder at the Catherine was a great stay. The room was amazingly clean and very luxurious. I loved the feel of the studio for my wife and me to enjoy. The only possible issue was hot water seemed to go very quickly and the height of the tub was a little dangerous to step into and out of the shower. Overall, we loved the stay and plan to do it again. Sonder staff was super cool too and their communication was great.

Beautiful condo with gorgeous views and close to everything. Beds and bedding were comfy with an ample supply of quality pillows. Only thing I thought I was booking a king and 2 queens but this condo has 2 kings.

Stay Here! It is amazing

Amazing modern property on Lady bird Lake. You can literally walk outside to South Congress and see the bats, walk around the train, walk up S. Congress to shops and clubs, walk downtown. They have a coffee station you can use downstairs . Our unit had an amazing view of Downtown. The apartment was large and had 2 balconies and the bedrooms were not connected. I would stay here again. They also had free garage parking. The beds were comfortable. They only thing that was strange were the huge bathtubs. They were hard to get in and out of and did not have grab bars. It could be dangerous for an older or very short person.

Overall stay was above my expectations. Entering the complex took a bit of time for the front desk to answer the call but after that everything was smooth sailing. The unit was clean and spacious. The instructions for the elevator and access to the unit was descriptive and easily understandable. I enjoyed my visit and look forward to my next trip back.
